All Hallow's (?) Eve

Where does the apostrophe go?

Anywho...I'm really not a Halloween fan. Like, not at all. It's cool, I guess, kind of, when you're a kid. But I was always a pretty serious child (even before I got sick), and so the dressing up thing never really did it for me.

Perhaps it will be more fun this year with a) not working, b) not living in a dorm, c) having actual front steps to sit on and give candy to cute little kids from my church.

Nonetheless, there is one goodfabulous thing about Halloween.

I give thee,

Halloween Oreos!!

﻿For the last year or two, I hadn't been able to find these at the store, and I was sorely disappointed. The other day, though, I had to travel into the city to visit a parishoner in the hospital, and I took the opportunity to make a quick WalMart run, where my cart came to a screeching halt when I encountered this:

Yes, friends, it is now officially fall.

(Side note: I don't even care that much about regular Oreos - whatevs, they're fine. But Halloween Oreos...they're worth the whole twisting apart and slow-dissection-to-savor-every-bit! Yum...amazing!)﻿

About Me

I am a walking dialectic, so I suppose it's good that I'm a Lutheran. I'm into the Bible, geeky theology stuff, and staying up past my bedtime. I'm definitely "my own person" and I ask lots and lots of questions. I feel like I just wrote a personal ad.

Beautiful and Important

"The Son is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation. For in him all things were created: things in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or powers or rulers or authorities; all things have been created through him and for him. He is before all things, and in him all things hold together. And he is the head of the body, the church; he is the beginning and the firstborn from among the dead, so that in everything he might have the supremacy. For God was pleased to have all his fullness dwell in him, and through him to reconcile to himself all things, whether things on earth or things in heaven, by making peace through his blood, shed on the cross". ~ Colossians 1:15-20
